NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 7: VELRATH’S DECREE
In the cold, cavernous throne room of Velrath's castle, King Darius sat upon his blackened throne, his eyes glowing with dark intent as the surviving Shadow Hunter knelt before him.
"Report," Darius demanded, his voice like gravel.
The assassin bowed his head low, his words hurried. "The Dragon Heir... he is more powerful than we anticipated. But he's still untrained. He's a threat, but... not yet a fully realized one."
A cruel smile curled on the King's lips. "Then we strike before he has a chance to grow stronger." His gaze shifted to Malvek, the dark sorcerer standing beside him. "Prepare the ritual, Malvek. The Wraithlord must be summoned."
Malvek's twisted staff hummed as he stepped forward, dark power swirling around him. "Shall I call upon the Wraithlord, Your Majesty?"
Darius nodded. "Yes. If the Dragon Heir refuses to kneel, he will learn the true meaning of fear."
The Wraithlord, a being of pure darkness and malice, was a weapon of unimaginable power. Its presence would be enough to destroy Kai before he could understand the full extent of his abilities.
